Review on Sabrent CB-SDSP: SSD/SATA Hard Drive Connection Kit with Molex 4 Pin to x2 15 Pin SATA Power Splitter Cable and x2 SATA Cables (Data) by Lagant Wardrick

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great little rogue adapter to bring power to hard-to-reach places for SATA drives

Power supplies come with right-angle SATA connectors or have multiple connectors in a row. This makes connecting the cable to the drive more difficult and can put too much pressure on the cable, which can break the plastic tab on the drive. In some computer cases, the drives are in odd places that don't allow a connection at a 90 degree angle. On other PC occasions I've had to use one SATA cable per drive just to disconnect the power connector. This kit is perfect for those things. My Fractal Design Nano S case has two SSDs mounted vertically next to the motherboard tray. When using a standard SATA connection it was too tight and I didn't want to damage the drives. Another PCPartpicker user recommended this kit to reduce disk load. With a modular power supply, swapping out a SATA cable for a Molex cable was a snap. And as a bonus, the cable has braiding to hide the color-coded wires inside. The supplied data cables are of good quality and flexible enough. Nice little bonus for my blue and gray themed PC.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • No mold required
